After graduating from West Virginia University, Ed proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. Retiring with the rank of Major after 20 years, he and his family settled in the Cleveland area. Never resting, Ed helped his family, extended family, and community as if they were his own sons and daughters. Ed enjoyed his time on the zoning board of appeals and as a board member of the AM Vets Post 80 and the Italian American War Vets Post 34.

Ed and Rita loved to travel, especially cruising to new destinations. He also enjoyed photography, archiving, history, Mount Union football games, and his newest passion, birdwatching. But his favorite activity was never missing his grandchildren’s events. Â
Ed will always be remembered for being there for his family and friends, for being a WVU Mountaineer, and for being a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Â
